At the end of Q3 '17, Telematics reached 785,000 fleet management and connected car subscriptions. This represents a 17% year on year increase, from 671,000 subscriptions at the end of Q3 '16.
We continue to invest in our main Fleet Management Solution WEBFLEET. In the quarter, we provided access to all of our customers to the open beta version of the New WEBFLEET 2018, offering a complete new user interface.
In September, market research firm Berg Insight recognised TomTom Telematics as Europe's leading provider of fleet management solutions, for the third year running. According to its “Fleet Management in Europe” report, Telematics is currently twice as large as the second player.
Continuing on the Connected Car strategy, in Q3, we worked with LeasePlan on new Connected Car apps and gave them access to our cloud-based TomTom Telematics Services Platform.
